Materials List for Painting Instruction with Seamus Berkeley

The following list of materials is suggested only. You are welcome to work with whatever materials you are familiar or have available. Discussion of materials will be part of the curriculum. The only strict requirement is absolutely no odorous solvents, mediums or paints. Most oil paints have little, if any odor.

While some easels will be available, it is preferable that you bring your own portable easel, so you can store and transport all your materials easily.

Please bring a sufficient number of the following items, or their equivalent, for the session:
*portable easel
*turpenoid or other odorless solvents (only odorless *solvents are allowed.)
*two sealable containers: one for cleaning brushes, the second for clean solvent
*several primed canvases in a range of sizes from 5” x 7” to 16” x 20”
*a palette of paints that includes the following:
*viridian
*ultramarine blue
